eggbert - what u think of the ixus 55? U reckon is worth $100-150 more for the ixus 65? Think i can get for $480 the ixus 750 is nice but around $570 I paid $515 for mine .. baised though ... I really like my canon alot .. advantage of the 750 as well is its awesomely quick boot time and massive screen !!!! i was looking at the panasonic FX 01 as well! except if you have seen the shots it produces in low light situations its crap! check out the sample shots at www.dpreview.com outdoor shots are awesome (bit better than a canon - no purple fringing and bright) and the 28mm lens allows more content to fit in a single photo. Has image stabilisation lens too Also the battery life is really good, but ive read that the canon battery life is poor in comparison especially using the LCD. Panasonic has no viewfinder tho - only a LCD but it seems like new cameras are moving towards that direction e.g. ixus 65 Only issue i have is that u get more shake using a LCD rather than the viewfinder Guys my decision Ixus 55 - aug 2005 model, 5MP, 2.5inch LCD $385 or Ixus 65 - March 2006 model, 6MP, 3inch LCD, no viewfinder $480 Any other options?
